Refining Ontologies by Pattern−Based Completion
Nadejda Nikitina, Sebastian Rudolph, Sebastian Blohm · 2009
Abstract. Constructing richly axiomatized ontologies for real-world knowledge-intensive applications is a time-consuming and difficult task. For this reason, the future relevance of ontologies in practice depends on the availability of advanced semi-automatic methods for ontology learning and refinement. In this paper we propose a method to enrich ontologies with complex axiomatic information by completing partial instantiations of ontology design patterns.
